Reading A-Z Kids (RAZ Kids)
Raz- Kids (https://www.raz-kids.com/)
is an award-winning differentiated reading program. It provides comprehensive,
leveled reading resources for kids, which includes over hundreds of eBooks, at
29 different leveled of reading difficulty.
Students are able to access leveled texts
through an interactive learning portal, which keeps them motivated and engaged.
The texts are available in both online and mobile formats. Students are able to
listen to the text be read to them, read at their own pace, and record
themselves reading. A corresponding eQuiz is provided to the students, which
assesses comprehension and helps determine future instruction needs. As
students complete reading ten or more leveled eBooks and pass their
corresponding eQuizzes, they will be able to advance to the next reading level.
Raz- Kids offers many benefits to students
and teachers. Students are able to access the extensive library and read the
leveled books online anytime and anyplace as Raz-Kids is accessible through its
mobile app. Raz- Kids offers leveled resources and interactive tools which
provides its users with high-interest books and various active reading strategy
practices, including drawing, highlighting, stamping and note-taking options.
Teachers are able to review test scores and know exactly what skills students
are honing in on and which skills they need more focus on, as each of the eQuiz
questions are tagged with particular comprehension skills. Raz-Kids also offers
digital incentives and rewards which work to keep students motivated to read
and advance to other reading levels. Lastly, Raz-Kids allows students to
revisit the text as they are taking the eQuiz as well as take multiple attempts
at the eQuiz.
